This tool lets users create Wikidata lexemes with pre-populated forms, such as the declensions of a noun or the conjugations of a verb.
On Wikimedia Toolforge, this tool runs under the lexeme-forms tool name.
Source code resides in ~/www/python/src/,
a virtual environment is set up in ~/www/python/venv/,
logs end up in ~/uwsgi.log.
The uwsgi.ini configuration file in the source code repository
is symlinked into ~/www/python/uwsgi.ini.
To update the tool, assuming there were no changes in the Python environment:
git fetch
git log -p @..@{u} # inspect changes
git rebase
webservice restart
If there were new changes in the Python environment (e.g. new dependencies),
add the following steps after the git rebase:
webservice shell
source ~/www/python/venv/bin/activate
pip-sync ~/www/python/src/requirements.txt
You can also run the tool locally, which is much more convenient for development
(for example, Flask will automatically reload the application any time you save a file).
Note that a local setup will not actually perform edits unless you create a config.yaml file.
git clone https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/toolforge-repos/lexeme-forms.git
cd lexeme-forms
pip3 install -r requirements.txt -r dev-requirements.txt
flask --debug run --extra-files i18n/en.json
If you want, you can do this inside some virtualenv too.
Yay contributions! <3
To propose new templates for the tool, or make changes to the existing templates, please head to the tool’s page on Wikidata and follow the instructions there (especially the “Language support” section).
You can translate the tool’s user interface on translatewiki.net. (Links to the translations are also included on the wiki pages with the templates.)
To send a patch, you can submit a pull request on GitHub or a merge request on GitLab. (E-mail / patch-based workflows are also acceptable.) It’s best to reach out to the maintainer(s) in advance, though, to see if the contribution is likely to be accepted or not.
Additions or changes to the templates should always be made on-wiki, as mentioned above. (If you really want to, you can send corresponding patches as well, but again, it’s best to reach out in advance.)
The translations are automatically updated from translatewiki.net;
only en.json and qqq.json should be changed directly in this source code repository.
The code in this repository is released under the AGPL v3, the translations and templates under CC BY-SA 4.0. See the LICENSE file for details.
